A mediator helps the parties make their decisions. A mediator might offer creative alternatives to help you decide, but he or she does not make any decisions for you. An arbitrator, on the other hand, does make decisions for you. Each of you will discuss your issues, and then the arbitrator will present what he or she feels is the best solution. Usually, the parties agree ahead of time that they will be bound to the decisions of the arbitrator.
